Flux Cored vs Shielding Gas | Which MIG Welder is …
Advantages of Shielded Gas Solid Wire Welding. Cleaner Process: Welding with solid wire and a shielding gas tends to produce less spatter as compared to Flux Cored Welding. Additionally, there is little or no slag to chip off after welding. Smaller Heat Affected Zone: MIG Welding with solid wire produces a smaller heat affected zone as compared to Flux Core Welding.
